Public bug reported: I have 5 disks: one PATA attached to primary master and four SATA. Tha pata disk is the boot device and the sata disks are arranged to the raid5 array. I can boot with the linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic kernel (version 2.6.24-17.31) but I can't use my pata disk. I see it as /dev/sda but I can't use swap and ext3fs from this disk.
Fdisk can query the disk [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 10.0 GB, 10005037056 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1216 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x10101010 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 694 5574523+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 695 1216 4192965 82 Linux swap / Solaris [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# swapon /dev/sda2 swapon: /dev/sda2: Invalid argument [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# fsck /dev/sda1 fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
